00:03:04.280 most importantly we should go with this uh i guess it needs to be a change in the law uh and uh

00:03:10.980 probably the biggest you know sort of health story that you talked about there which would be the

00:03:15.340 emotional support alligator uh you want to start there i think we start with the emotional all right

00:03:20.600 well it's uh you know it's an interesting story um your cave in pennsylvania pennsylvania man says his

00:03:28.400 emotional support alligator helps him deal with his depression joey henny 65 said his registered

00:03:37.020 emotional support alligator named wally likes to snuggle and give hugs now i don't know how an

00:03:46.160 alligator gives hugs with such little arms famously small arms right right the reach comes from the mouth

00:03:52.260 right he's a five foot long alligator uh he has now received approval from the doctor that wally is

00:04:01.480 an emotional support animal what does that mean what do you mean they've received support from the

00:04:07.300 doctor what do you mean it's registered what is that what do these terms mean they mean what did you

00:04:11.300 sign up on a website and no you went to the doctor you went and he said i i don't want to go on

00:04:16.360 medication for my uh for my depression but my alligator makes me really happy and if i could

00:04:23.140 travel around with my alligator uh i would never be lonely and i would be fine look dude you're going

00:04:29.740 to be very lonely if you're walking around with an alligator okay you know the only person that's going

00:04:35.880 to talk to you is the alligator and when the alligator starts to talk and you start understanding

00:04:42.180 the alligator you're beyond depression dude plus this is one of the three or four things that would

00:04:48.120 guarantee you'd be lonely yes like carrying around an alligator or walking around an alligator

00:04:53.660 everywhere you go guarantees that no one will ever come near you right so he said wally was uh

00:04:58.940 rescued from outside orlando 14 months old he's still growing well that's good he could be 16 feet

00:05:06.360 long one day uh he said wally eats chicken wings and shares an indoor plastic pond with a smaller

00:05:16.080 rescued alligator named scrappy wally who turns four this year is a big teddy bear yeah i got news for

00:05:25.860 you he's an alligator and he will eventually eat a child or or you if he thinks you taste like chicken

00:05:34.700 yeah this is like the guy who uh the grizzly man documentary do you know that story no it was a

00:05:40.320 a guy who really he had a real connection with bears and he would go in the woods and he would

00:05:46.920 have this these amazing interactions with bears and he kept trying to tell people you're scared of

00:05:51.500 bears but bears are good creatures they're good quiet loving creatures until he was filming himself

00:05:59.960 and was eaten by a bear and when that happened it turned the documentary a little a little dark a

00:06:06.380 little dark yeah yeah and uh so i this is what happens here someday this little cute story of the

00:06:11.960 emotional support alligator turns into the inside of his dining room looking like a slaughterhouse

00:06:15.920 and uh and so you know what this is this is a stupid guy who just hasn't had the money or whatever

00:06:23.580 to move to florida because every remember when we moved to tampa okay everyone said and you don't

00:06:30.220 at first you don't understand it hey welcome to florida by the way don't ever reach into a bush here

00:06:36.720 what what do you mean don't reach into a bush you know there's there's ponds and water around and stuff

00:06:43.200 just don't reach into any of the bushes so if you go golfing or something and it goes into a bush

00:06:48.760 leave it there why oh well because there's alligators okay alligators yeah and some people

00:06:57.460 move down and they think alligators are fun and so they'll go out and they'll feed them chicken

00:07:03.320 and then uh you know somebody's kid in the neighborhood is missing a few weeks later what you

00:07:12.240 mean it ate it yeah now listen here's how you run for an alligator don't run in a straight line wait a

00:07:18.540 minute are we really having this conversation do you remember did you have that conversation oh

00:07:23.680 yeah yeah they tell you i don't even know if it's true but they tell you to run in zigzags zigzags

00:07:27.300 yeah yeah don't run in a straight line from an alligator an alligator cannot turn corners fast

00:07:32.640 but they can run straight line much faster than you i don't even know if this is true do we don't know i

00:07:39.520 don't know don't care all i know i was i would if i was running from an alligator i would have

00:07:42.840 attempted it true or not right so so one day we were driving home and we were driving on our street

00:07:50.000 just to get home it was like a cul-de-sac and we're driving on the street and i stopped because there

00:07:54.620 is this eight foot alligator seven foot alligator that is just sunning himself across the street

00:08:01.200 so you can't drive he's like a speed bump and you know you don't want to run over the alligator but

00:08:06.680 i'm not getting out and saying shoo shoo so we had our cell phone and we called uh the police and we

00:08:15.660 said what do we do in this situation oh i gotta call animal control okay call animal control yeah we

00:08:22.200 don't how big is he i don't know six seven feet oh yeah we don't pick him up until they're 10 feet

00:08:28.300 wait what what do you mean so what do i do well wait until the alligator moves and we did and we did

00:08:39.160 how long did that take uh took about an hour i think i mean because none of us were willing to

00:08:44.180 i'm not getting out of my car it's an alligator man so now this guy is because he loves lives up in

00:08:51.040 pennsylvania he's like oh these poor rescued alligators it's a deadly animal and it's a wild

00:08:58.460 animal you don't treat and still does an alligator make a good pet i would argue no does not make a

00:09:07.060 good pet well as long as you always remember it's an alligator it's a fine pet this guy doesn't

00:09:14.580 remember it's an alligator he thinks it's a snuggly toy and if this guy comes on an airplane

00:09:20.240 dude i'm sorry if that's your emotionally support you know what you need to stay off this plane

00:09:28.520 because you are nuts and you have no judgment you're not going to be able to open the door if this

00:09:33.160 thing goes down so you certainly are not sitting in an exit aisle you are not sitting in an exit seat

00:09:39.260 because you're never going to be able to open the door uh second of all uh the only way that

00:09:44.240 alligator is getting onto a plane with me is if you make it into luggage and then shoes a briefcase

00:09:52.760 a belt whatever other than that if it's not carrying your clothes that ain't getting on the plane isn't

00:09:59.700 it though it's a bigger issue than just the emotional support alligator and that the emotional

00:10:04.240 support animal is just a giant scam for people to bring their pets wherever they want to go oh i think

00:10:08.360 so i mean they're seeing this on airplanes all the time people just bring more and more of their pets

00:10:12.300 they get more and more uh exotic because of this bizarre cutout they have that you know there

00:10:18.800 there are people like there are people that have you know mental distress and have severe

00:10:23.400 uh ailments that you know reportedly respond well to animals and and there's a reason to understand

00:10:29.540 that that's possible and and it has happened before but now it's just people being like look uh you get

00:10:34.800 it registered and my understanding of the registering process of this is anybody can read there's no

00:10:39.500 official process you just go and get it registered from anybody who says they registered and then you

00:10:43.920 can say i have a registered emotional support animal and then because these airlines and other

00:10:49.180 places have been like well for people who really need them maybe we can make exceptions well it's

00:10:53.920 registered i guess we have to let them on and it's becoming more and more of a problem because you know

00:10:57.700 90 of this stuff is just nonsense people like their pets they want to bring them on planes so we have

00:11:02.740 we have canines um and they're registered protection animals uh and so they have to wear the vest and

00:11:11.380 they have an actual tag and a license and everything else um and i think there is a place for like i know

00:11:17.860 a lot of people who are soldiers ptsd yeah that's great and it works for them and i don't care if you

00:11:23.960 have a registered dog as your your you know emotional support but i think you're right i think people who

00:11:30.240 carried them around in purses a lot of times and they carried them around in purses because they

00:11:35.020 couldn't get a bigger dog because then they couldn't take them everywhere are now just getting

00:11:39.040 a dog and going oh yeah this is my emotional support really is it and beyond that even if it is and it's

00:11:46.500 your dog okay if it's your cat and i hate cats okay an alligator no you don't get to make that's

00:11:55.960 emotionally distressing everyone else around you yes like the the overall you might be depressed but

00:12:00.540 we're in full-fledged panic here the best of the glenn beck program

00:12:06.880 all right so the abortion thing this is in virginia i want to play this audio this is in virginia the

00:12:19.760 legislature is now talking about a new bill to make abortion legal all the way up to birth now

00:12:27.600 we have a partial birth abortion restriction right a ban it's a ban can't do it uh how can you do this

00:12:36.760 all the way to birth well you don't partially birth you have to kill the child not not with the feet and

00:12:45.100 shoulders out and just the head which is how they used to do it right now they just go in and kill

00:12:50.300 the child and then you birth the baby two days later okay so you're still going through all of

00:12:57.620 the birth you're doing that but you're birthing a dead baby and think about that you're delivering

00:13:03.100 the child you're just delivering the child after it died right so you could easily deliver the child

00:13:08.520 alive and then give it up for adoption that was always the argument was well we don't want to carry

00:13:12.240 it to term i mean that's you're causing emotional distress and all these terrible things well you're

00:13:16.720 actually birthing the child in this scenario and still they want it to happen and they think that

00:13:21.360 their their their excuse is well it might be emotionally distressful for the uh for the woman well wait

00:13:28.600 will it be more emotionally distressed to have a child then give it to a loving family

00:13:34.720 or to birth a dead child and go through that experience which is it which is it we know it has

00:13:46.660 nothing to do with either one of those things correct nothing to do with correct this is just

00:13:50.740 leading us to murder children children okay so listen to the questions this is in virginia

00:14:01.200 and legislature as they are discussing the bill as written listen to this how late in the third

00:14:07.440 trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated it would impair the mental health of the

00:14:13.160 of the woman or physical health okay okay i'm talking about the mental health so i mean through the

00:14:20.600 third trimester the third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks okay but to the end of the third

00:14:25.520 trimester yep i don't think we have a limit in the bill where it's obvious that a woman is about to

00:14:30.280 give birth she has physical signs of that she is about to give a birth would that still be a point

00:14:36.020 at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified

00:14:39.320 she's dilating

00:14:43.540 all right mr chairman that would be a you know a decision that the doctor the physician and the

00:14:53.200 woman i understand that i'm asking if your bill allows that my bill would allow that yes

00:14:57.520 so it's if in the off chance that a woman experiences pain during pregnancy or birth

00:15:05.820 that would be that would be a threat to her health and therefore she could have an abortion

00:15:11.000 so if the if the birth and somehow and i don't know if this has ever occurred to a woman but if it

00:15:14.980 somehow becomes painful during the birthing process if there is an indication of discomfort

00:15:21.160 physically or mentally at that point they can have a mental health exemption from these laws yeah except

00:15:28.020 the problem is if it's you know uh going to be painful or hard she still has to give birth to the

00:15:35.460 child two days later just dead oh well of course but that luckily though it will there'll be no mental

00:15:40.940 stress because the baby won't be alive that's where it all comes from glenn uh the birthing process is

00:15:46.660 a very it's always been a wonderfully easy process for women and now if we happen to see some discomfort

00:15:52.420 that certainly the abortion is the only answer there this is absolutely unbelievable i mean

00:15:57.260 there's no one on earth who believes that that is is anything other than murder than murder i mean

00:16:04.460 like you're talking about a nine-month baby that can come out at any time you're gonna have to birth

00:16:07.980 it anyway it's just gonna be dead when you birth it instead of alive there's no way to justify

00:16:12.680 that it's impossible and you know if you go back to the partial birth abortion ban what you'll find

00:16:16.240 is a lot of democrats saying that is ridiculous we're never going to do that that's not what

00:16:19.560 we're talking about this is a slippery slope though you're going to go for more you're going

00:16:22.520 to go for more and that was their argument against the bill it was never against partial birth abortion

00:16:26.060 it was against look you're going to try to go after this is your slippery slope it's your little

00:16:30.480 window and to take away all women's rights when it comes to their reproductive health now it's going

00:16:36.700 to be a litmus test for every democratic candidate to come into that primary and tell you that yes

00:16:42.860 three seconds before birth is appropriate you know what maybe we should get rid of that partial

00:16:47.740 birth abortion ban maybe a couple minutes after if it's only a couple of minutes maybe if it's still

00:16:52.400 connected to the umbilical cord it counts and we could still do it then they will go through every

00:16:56.840 iteration of this to try to justify it because they're all going to be in this giant contest to

00:17:01.620 move further and further left to bring uh the death of innocent children to the foreground of this

00:17:08.120 debate it's it's a it's a miracle if you're if you're wanting crazy socialists to run against

00:17:13.000 because uh that's what you're going to see here but it's scary because once it gets down to a one-on-one

00:17:17.720 contest anything can happen and if kamala harris or or you know one of these crazy any any of them

00:17:23.720 really it's gonna be you think pedo is gonna not march to this tune of course all of them will all of

00:17:30.060 them will this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:17:35.740 hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us on

00:17:51.020 itunes if you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe on

00:17:56.940 itunes thanks van freaking jones yeah van jones is a pariah van jones did the criminal uh reform bill

00:18:10.060 with donald trump and he's like guys this is a giant win what are you one of them trump supporters

00:18:17.940 it's van jones he's a communist remember this guy is now too conservative it's nuts it's nuts now van

00:18:32.100 jones's picture is up at the coke brothers meeting do you see that seriously legitimately he was they

00:18:37.480 know because the coke brothers because he was behind it yeah i mean he funded it have supported the

00:18:42.580 criminal justice reform thing for a very long time and now did you imagine the ads the ads would be

00:18:48.520 uh because uh uh do you know that donald trump is in bed with some of the evil people in the world

00:18:56.520 the coke brothers and van jones wait what you mean the communist from the obama administration

00:19:06.480 how is this this is wild this is insane when they go so far that van jones is looks moderate looks

00:19:16.920 moderate you're like whoa yeah i mean that howard schultz can't he doesn't even belong in the party

00:19:22.820 anymore i mean this guy is a lifelong democrat he we would he would agree with with us on maybe five

00:19:29.220 percent of things right like he's maybe he's he says he's thinks that the debt is a big problem right

00:19:34.320 like that's something you'd understand he doesn't like elizabeth warren's billionaire tax right like

00:19:39.060 there's a couple things that you could find where you'd agree with howard schultz but generally he's

00:19:42.740 just a nor he's the democrat that democrats used to be you know it wouldn't be one that i would vote

00:19:47.460 for but now he doesn't even have a place in the party i think he's the democrat that the average

00:19:53.100 democrat still is they're just the one's not in washington they're just not allowed to say it

00:20:00.960 they're not allowed to embrace it and it's going to be i'm telling you right now this is going to be

00:20:08.100 the exact opposite election where we had looked at hillary clinton and said she's the devil okay i

00:20:17.120 remember alex jones was like you smell sulfur around her she's the devil all right there are people that

00:20:24.100 believe on the other side that donald trump at all costs yes he must never be president not for

00:20:32.080 another day and they will do anything many of us and we had the evidence we had decades of evidence

00:20:39.540 she is corrupt to the core she's corrupt and it will i mean the the republic is doomed

00:20:47.920 with her right so anybody and we when we started looking at just win just stop her that is going to

00:20:59.460 be the mindset of the democratic party just stop him and that's why they they would be fine with

00:21:06.640 schultz running as a democrat like they're half saying he's evil and they don't want him you know

00:21:12.680 he's just a billionaire who's out for himself what a what a jerk and it's like well but if he ran for

00:21:17.240 democrat then he could try to flesh that out in the democratic primary well why would you want him

00:21:20.300 to be your candidate if you think he's a evil billionaire jerk that's because they just don't

00:21:25.400 want the they're worried about they know it's the ross vote right yeah the ross perot effect have you

00:21:30.200 heard him interrupted over and over again you're just an evil billionaire and you're gonna make trump

00:21:36.380 win but join our party and run with us right it's it's just what a world oh man i need an emotional

00:21:43.880 support alligator that's what i need you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:21:53.680 so the article starts they're both brash outer borough new yorkers each with their own notorious

00:22:09.660 nickname she's aoc and he's the donald both shocked their parties by coming out of nowhere to win their

00:22:16.720 elections defeating members of the establishment despite being greatly outspent and both have

00:22:22.760 broken the rules of dc politics in strikingly similar ways using social media to push policy and usher in

00:22:30.240 previously uninspired voters welcome selena zito uh a a real journalist and one who really

00:22:39.120 looks for the truth and then balances it with common sense as well to tell the story selena um

00:22:45.600 what what is the point what is the point of your article other than the fact that they both are cut

00:22:53.620 from the same cloth in their approach not their policies but their their approach well first of all

00:23:00.840 thanks for having me on um so i think the larger point which i still think some people don't get

00:23:08.000 is that they speak to and or speak for segments of society that have felt as though they are not

00:23:18.540 they they haven't um been brought in as part of you know um fulfilling or living the american dream

00:23:27.280 they they they they speak to people who oftentimes the establishments of both parties either take for

00:23:35.540 granted um use their vote um and or you know it'll leave them behind so take republicans for example

00:23:43.840 republicans were more than happy to get independent and democratic voters or voters that didn't vote a lot

00:23:51.300 to be swept up in the tea party movement in 2010 to help them usher in majorities not only in the house

00:24:00.140 uh but also down ballot and in governor's offices uh they they kept they were more than happy and

00:24:07.040 welcome to uh or happy to welcome them in in 2014 when they took the senate and won even more

00:24:13.500 republican seats but you know they didn't really want them when it came to the presidential uh election

00:24:21.000 because they did not understand that they these voters were going to reject the establishment

00:24:29.760 because the establishment hadn't listened to them for at least two generations and the same goes with

00:24:36.740 democrats democrats are taught democratic voters especially in particular young millennial voters

00:24:43.540 and minority voters don't feel as though the democratic establishment has their back in fact they think that

00:24:50.540 they're corrupt look at the way that bernie sanders was treated by the dnc they believe those things are

00:24:59.240 unfair and weighted towards the establishment and away from their voices you may not agree with trump

00:25:07.240 voters you may not agree with aoc voters but they have a point so selena i think what's happening

00:25:17.360 with the democrats is absolutely fascinating uh first of all when you look at the the average democrat the

00:25:25.920 average democrat is saying the democrats are moving too far left and they're going crazy where i think the

00:25:32.780 average democrat would look at a guy like howard schultz if it if he wasn't a if he wasn't a looked at as

00:25:39.880 as a party spoiler and the average democrat would probably go for him um where they're not into this

00:25:48.840 socialist thing however the other part that they're not haven't listened to and betrayed is this socialist

00:25:56.060 who since woodrow wilson has been told no we're just progressing to the socialist utopia that's what

00:26:03.400 happened in france that led to the book the coming insurrection the communist and the socialist said

00:26:09.880 i've had enough you keep telling us you don't believe in this system but you're never going to

00:26:15.440 take us over the finish line and it's time so who in the end do the democrats have

00:26:21.420 you know it's gonna be here's really what's really difficult first of all i thought the reaction

00:26:28.980 by democrats to howard schultz running was ridiculous they literally lost their minds

00:26:36.940 uh when he decided that he's going to run as a centrist what does that tell you it tells you that

00:26:43.880 they know their party is too far left they know they can't appeal to the squishy middle which by the

00:26:51.040 way a large segment of the society is in the squishy middle they look at politics as a buffet and they like

00:26:58.240 this this this this and in this person but they don't like that that that that's why we have big wave

00:27:03.860 election cycles in our midterms because we keep sending a message with who we vote for and washington

00:27:09.620 keeps misreading it and thinking we like them again but wait but but so so so but wait a minute um

00:27:17.660 uh you are still looking at howard uh howard schultz and you say that it it was shocking to you but

00:27:27.040 they're looking at schultz as a spoiler and they are taking the position that so many people took look

00:27:35.460 if somebody would have run third party if casick or or or cruz or anybody would have run third party

00:27:41.880 that person would have been done in politics forever because it was anyone but hillary and we have to

00:27:51.420 defeat hillary that's the mindset i think going into 2020 with the democrats anyone but trump

00:27:58.940 yeah absolutely they're terrified of of of a third party candidate because it it could you know

00:28:07.880 definitely have a huge impact on who their um who their nominee is so what does that tell you glenn

00:28:14.460 it tells me that they are they they are afraid of their the direction that their own party is going

00:28:21.840 they understand it's too far left yet they can't stop it why because the activists on either side of

00:28:32.980 the party tend to push through the furthest to the left or right in a primary situation and that's what

00:28:42.040 they're facing most as the most sort of boisterous and noisy people in the party and the ones that

00:28:48.540 are most invested in politics are the ones to the furthest left they understand i mean had there not

00:28:56.660 been that sort of force field of the superdelegates um for the democrats ernie sanders in all likelihood

00:29:04.700 would have been the nominee so because so so how are they going to get through i mean i'd love to hear

00:29:12.600 your opinion then we got to get back to ocasio-cortez and her traits that are similar to trump um but um

00:29:18.700 right now you have virginia uh rhode island vermont and new york pushing through everything but partial

00:29:28.940 birth abortion and the only reason why they don't include that is because we have a ban on it so

00:29:34.640 the minute the woman is dilated and they say push at any time she can say kill the baby i don't want

00:29:41.620 this baby and they will it's so unbelievably extreme why are they pushing that through why are

00:29:51.120 they going this far if you say uh you know they they know they're too extreme why are they doing that

00:29:57.900 then because they live within it's it's what i outlined outlined in the book they live within

00:30:04.880 these super zip codes and they all think alike and they're so sort of outside the mainstream

00:30:13.160 mainstream democratic position on abortion if you look at the statistics um in particular among young

00:30:23.520 people young people have become more pro-life over time and it hasn't and it's not all about um

00:30:31.340 religion it's also about science science has changed and artificial intelligence has changed an abundant

00:30:39.000 amount of things in our life including our how we view abortion you can see what your baby looks like

00:30:46.680 and see a heartbeat at much faster speed than you could five years ago 10 years ago you know there's

00:30:54.000 life in you and and these and these young people see that they see that through um when they're in school

00:31:00.520 when they're taught about things in their science classes but they also see that in their personal

00:31:04.720 lives when they make personal decisions i for 30 years ago i said if there was a window to a womb

00:31:12.780 that was natural abortion would stop because you would see it as a baby it's our eyes that are allowing

00:31:21.340 us to uh live in this life to live this lie and as technology gets better we'll recognize a child

00:31:29.060 earlier and earlier and that is what's happening to the millennials right now absolutely the millennials

00:31:35.960 and gen z are much more pro-life than gen x and the boomers were okay so let me go back to let me go

00:31:44.080 back to ocasio-cortez and the the things that she is doing right now that you say she has in common with

00:31:50.860 donald trump and the left doesn't seem to have a problem with it uh with her but they do with donald trump

00:31:57.100 explain that so the old crypt keepers in washington dc they don't like donald trump because he short

00:32:06.080 circuits the system the crypt keepers in the media don't like it because he goes around them

00:32:12.260 but ocasio-cortez is doing exactly the same thing and that's what your article is pointing out tell me

00:32:20.520 about it absolutely so she does i mean just think about the two days after she was uh she won her

00:32:28.620 election in november she went and attended a protest uh in nancy pelosi's office and and walked around

00:32:37.700 and high-fived everyone in the office i mean that's she knew that that pelosi was going to be the next

00:32:43.380 speaker of the house uh but yet she was very defiant in in in projecting to um to her voters plus people

00:32:52.840 who you know believe in her cause that she was going to buck the system and she has done it in the same

00:33:00.160 way that trump has she uh she goes against her party multitudes of times she says outrageous things

00:33:09.040 and when twitter she flirts uh with the truth much in the same way that that that trump does

00:33:15.960 and is unapologetic for all of them but most importantly she gives voice to people who feel

00:33:23.400 that they don't have a voice i would argue um that that that is the problem that the democrats have

00:33:31.020 and they have these two sort of completely different forces within their party you have the more

00:33:37.680 centrist democrats who want things to be a little more normal uh to have a party that's a little

00:33:44.480 more stable and then you have the people to the left who embrace uh many aspects of socialism and who um

00:33:52.560 uh you know are very strongly identified with social justice causes who are pushing back against

00:33:59.000 them and saying your time has gone we don't really explore that division because they aren't the party in

00:34:05.900 power but it is as bad and or worse than the republicans division leading up to 2016 so this is why i thought

00:34:15.040 the election last year if we hadn't created this nightmare scenario where we're at each other's

00:34:22.180 throats and we could have a logical conversation the conversation the election last year i thought

00:34:27.420 should have been uh between bernie sanders and ted cruz or somebody like ted cruz because that's

00:34:34.340 where i think the people are we are at this choice we're going to drop capitalism and and and and and go

00:34:42.200 for social justice or we're going to stick to the constitution and we're going to clean capitalism up and

00:34:49.320 everyone has to live under the same laws that's that's really where we are but that's not where either

00:34:56.480 party is so who wins in the end who are are the nancy pelosis and chuck schumer going to win or the

00:35:04.140 ocasio-cortez kamala harris people well that's sort of the great question uh it's look the the kamala

00:35:12.540 harris hopefully i'm saying that right and uh aoc are the noisiest uh of of of the two sides um but you

00:35:22.840 know so that means they get the most attention does that project them into a win it's hard to tell

00:35:30.260 uh and i think even a lot of voters if you go back and when you look at the election in 2018

00:35:37.680 and you look at a lot of those suburban districts you saw a lot you saw a lot of these races were at

00:35:43.600 like one percent right there were a lot of suburban republican voters who went to the democrat side

00:35:49.780 because they ran moderates and they didn't feel comfortable in the republican party but they don't

00:35:54.320 belong over the in the democratic party and they're they're they sort of they're up for grabs and and i

00:36:00.560 think that that conflict that you talk about the cruz sanders conflict is what is going to either split

00:36:07.380 them to one side or the other and and i don't know what happens to the nancy pelosis and chuck schumers

00:36:14.380 going forward because i think the tenants of the party have become too far left all right the um i

00:36:22.320 was just talking to john miller who is our white house correspondent um and he was saying that when

00:36:27.080 he's in the press room the press does not like jim acosta they might agree with him they don't like

00:36:32.800 donald trump but they are sick of him because they know he's a showboater and and everything else

00:36:37.220 um and i've heard rumblings that the same is being said now about ocasio-cortez that um there's a lot

00:36:45.140 of people who are like all right calm down slow down is she is there a chance she wears out her welcome

00:36:51.120 well that's that's the big question right she honestly i've never seen a young person or a member

00:36:58.820 of congress congress come in and create the attention and disruption that she has in my career

00:37:05.020 covering covering covering politics when you go to washington you're one of 435 right you're not

00:37:13.320 supposed to be the center of attention unless you're in leadership no matter what party it is but this is

00:37:19.420 a new world glenn and it's hard to uh to to sort of predict what happens to her i think that if the

00:37:29.600 democrats are too heavy-handed and and backbent her then they're going to face a sort of insurrection

00:37:36.960 within their own party in the same way that that that's sort of how the republicans try to do to

00:37:43.700 treat um ted cruz yeah at the end of the day ted cruz prevailed uh selena is considered a statesman

00:37:52.460 within the party selena thank you so much selena zito uh you can follow her at selena zito um on

00:37:59.240 twitter she's just a fantastic journalist and writer thank you so much this is the best of the glenn

00:46:25.520 before it hit the ground unbelievable yeah i mean that the north thank you so much cold i was checking

00:46:30.680 around a little bit earlier today and it looks like north dakota had the coldest temperatures that's

00:46:34.760 why you move to south dakota yeah beautiful south dakota where it's like only like minus 30

00:46:38.920 yeah only minus 30 i mean it's crazy

00:46:41.800 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:46:47.960 last night we only touched on this just a little bit on this coming collusion between the old media

00:47:02.120 the new media on the left and tech with government but it's coming and i'm afraid our voices are going

00:47:10.560 to be snuffed out if we don't all come together and last night we came together you know all of the

00:47:18.060 talent that we could uh fly in and you know didn't have other shows and commitments we flew them in last

00:47:23.300 night there was what 20 of us here last night eric bowling uh hosted it i was uh i was you know uh there

00:47:30.440 the whole time uh and it was it was interesting to watch especially when bill o'reilly uh came on

00:47:39.720 yeah we have a clip of that actually uh yeah this is from last night's special media meltdown on blaze

00:47:44.640 tv listen it's important that people who watch this program and go to bill o'reilly.com and listen to

00:47:50.480 beck on the radio and go to the blaze that they know it's no longer about media bias all right it's

00:47:56.400 about money because the big corporations disney comcast controls nbc cbs want to make money all

00:48:04.020 right and they know they can target a liberal crew that hates trump for a consistent audience and that's

00:48:11.000 what they're doing so bill can i not seeking the truth can i that's number one and number two the new

00:48:16.900 york times and the washington post the only two newspapers of note left in america have banded

00:48:24.780 together and said we want progressive socialism we want and we're going to validate it so the

00:48:32.160 combination is way beyond any bias that bernie goldberg wrote about way back when or that we

00:48:39.320 experienced all three of us in our television careers it's way beyond that now and people need

00:48:45.800 to know it he was he was very clarifying last night about the media and how we've got to stop

00:48:51.900 talking about media bias because we sound like idiots talking about media bias it this is now all

00:48:58.360 about money all about money and they just don't care and they will they will steamroll anyone

00:49:06.040 because they know if they fall into bed with the right people they'll be able to control the system

00:49:12.860 milk the system and eventually be the system the bias is still there yes just it's now just an

00:49:20.820 ingredient instead of its motivating factor which is different yes also had ali and lauren on last

00:49:25.700 night um which is it was uh you know you had i mean this is one of the things i think i really like

00:49:29.560 about the blaze tv overall is that you kind of have you have young and old you have you know kind of

00:49:34.480 libertarian to conservative you have that whole spectrum and all a bunch of different viewpoints

00:49:38.600 both ali and lauren are millennials uh who are talking about conservative things which is i know

00:49:43.060 shocking to hear in the media you don't you don't hear much of it on any of the main networks

00:49:46.840 including fox uh but they were talking about uh the media landscape and what it looks like today

00:49:51.680 what is the process for a young person conservative or or liberal doesn't matter to make an impact in

00:49:57.960 me or old person well i so i kept my day job until i came and i worked at the blaze but in my

00:50:03.540 off time i just started to write blog posts at the conservative millennial blog.com and i would do

00:50:09.520 videos on my phone that i would maybe edit on my computer if i could figure that out and then i would

00:50:13.760 post them i did that for a long time not getting any views or any followers whatsoever but after a

00:50:19.280 while people just started paying attention it really is amazing the kind of audience that you

00:50:23.380 can build i already don't know if that might be shifting a little bit i feel like we kind of came

00:50:28.740 in and a little bit of a sweet spot um but it is totally possible to use the equipment that you have

00:50:33.920 as long as you are listenable you are saying something that people want and need to hear

00:50:37.640 well i mean to monetize it and to make it out of career you do need to not only have a message you

00:50:43.500 also i think having some good business sense help but helps but i think for a lot of people

00:50:47.800 it's not necessarily having to make this into a career it's about wanting to be heard because i've

00:50:52.120 been on so many smaller channels or part-time podcasters or whatever which is you know how we

00:50:56.540 both started off who they don't necessarily want to make a lot of money doing this or make a name for

00:51:00.860 themselves they just want to get their message out there that is um it was an interesting conversation

00:51:06.100 because we talked about what the truth is about the media the corporations the new media tech

00:51:12.040 companies uh then we talked about how millennials uh are so important and how different they are and

00:51:19.080 how they reach a completely different audience and then on top of it uh we talked a little bit about

00:51:25.100 the audience and what we need to do to help the audience and it starts by listening to you and how

00:51:32.260 you can train yourself and it's going to lead to another special that i'm producing uh probably maybe i don't

00:51:40.700 even want to say when but it's it's coming and it's going to be really in depth on the on the media
